Back to School, Already?

It's already time to begin thinking about back to school! In a couple of weeks, brand new faces will be headed through your classroom door.

Help students with planning by having them reflect on what items they need to put in their backpack for a successful first week of school:

Then, introduce and review school rules by involving students in the process:

Make returning to the classroom something for students to look forward to! Start the year off right with engaging, active learning handouts that help you learn about students, their skills, and their backgrounds.

Happy Back to School!

July is Rodeo Month

One of the best things about summer is the arrival of the rodeo! There's the Rodeo Queen title to contend for, the carnival that springs up, a parade to participate in, and three nights of excitement and fun. Nothing beats a rodeo and its entertainment on a balmy summer night: 

If you're lucky enough to attend one of the nation's best July rodeos, Cheyenne Frontier Days, in Wyoming, then you realize that cowboys and cowgirls travel many miles to participate in their favorite rodeo sports. How would you do on the rodeo circuit? Give it a try:

To attract many hometown people and lots of tourists, some of the bigger productions, such as the National Rodeo Association, give top prize money to winners:

When going to the rodeo, be sure to pick up a program to keep up with participants, their scores, and past performances:

Rodeos are great for making memories, so be sure to record your eyewitness account of one of the nation's oldest sport--the rodeo:

For more rodeo activities, pick up the Let's Rodeo packet!

Happy Rodeoing!

Celebrating Parents' Day (July 23) with Freebies

What can you thank your parents for? Does your list go on and on...? 

It's easy to take parents for granted. Maybe your parent is the first person you turn to for answering questions or giving advice. Maybe your classroom parents are the first you turn to when you need extra supplies. Maybe you have only memories of your parents to celebrate. Sunday, July 23, is the time to thank parents and guardians for all they do. 

Pick up the Parents' Day Activities packet:

Thanks, Mom and Dad!
